Along with donating masks, the luxury dealer announced on April 29 that they are offering up complimentary labor to Mercedes-Benz owners who have been laid off, furloughed, or have lost their job due to COVID-19.

“While other dealers are laying off their employees, we are doing everything in our power to support our team physically, emotionally, and financially, said Agresti. “Everyone is getting paid even if we sent them home due to vulnerabilities. Most of our team is intact and ready to serve, so our team is providing complimentary labor!”
